The End-No it isn't During the fall of 1969 Daniel Dyer stands
alone at a still point between the disappointments of his childhood
and an incredibly uncertain future. He is a boy from Yorkshire,
living in America who has been abandoned by his father and then his
mother and has signed up to fi ght with the US army in Vietnam. The
Far Out Cafe is full of characters and events: a blues singer, a
Cuban called Guerrero and another called Compay, with his head full
of conspiracy theories, 'Birdmen, ' a chapel dating back to the 2nd
century, an isolated island, a pack of marauding sharks; one of
mythical proportions, a psychotic Soviet called the Generali, a
barbaric guard called Rusanov and his syphilitic assistant, Yefrem.
This is not merely a story about the atrocities of war. It's a
story about who Daniel meets when he has been left for dead; a boy
called Angel and a girl called Beth. It's about the way we live our
lives and what happens when we place our Faith in God when things
go horribly wrong. It's a savage yet tenderly lyrical story about
an unforgiving time and indestructible love. 'I sat down, cleared
my mind, and 'The Far Out Cafe' blew it apart. It's a really great
story and it's told in such a surreal way, it messes with your head
so much, delightfully so, but what really caught me is the sense of
magic and mysticism that is woven into the story. A huge story that
has roots in an even greater and deeper meaning. The spiritual
clashed against the brutality of men is incredibly powerful. Good
to fi nally be challenged by a modern book that gives the mind a
great workout. In fi lm terms, very Stanley Kubrick' - David
Popescu - Hooligan Filmworks, Canada

No enemy of the United States has escaped the cunning and
bravery of Captain Zakkova Ikanovich, a fifteen-year veteran of the
US Navy SEALs. After a highly decorated career that includes the
killing of Osama Bin Laden, Ikanovich and his 140-pound King Cobra
snake retire. But the president of the United States and his
advisors are not about to let Ikanovich's skills go unused.
He is hired as a private citizen to undertake black covert
operations and eliminate some of the world's worst terrorists and
heads of state. Ikanvoich's exploits run the gamut: He blows up
Iran's nuclear centrifuges in QomIran, setting back Iran's nuclear
warhead ambitions by years. He assassinates Grand Ayatollah Sayyed
Ali Hosseini Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran. He
attacks and destroys the Sinaloa cartel's major headquarters and
cocaine processing facility. He kills thirty Muslim Brotherhood
members who try to invade his home. Throughout his missions,
Ikanovich befriends a motorcycle gang and becomes their guardian
angel against rival gangs and the police.
For the formidable Ikanovich, no mission seems too dangerous or
too difficult as he seeks to protect the United States from evil
forces.
A handsome new edition of Sir Walter Scott's classic.
Kim Jon Il holds an iron grip over North Korea, and the world can
only wonder what the secretive leader is doing within his borders.
The deputy director of the CIA, Bob Wells, intends to discover
the truth. He knows that if he doesn't, the world could see an
attack similar to 9/11, or even worse. With the country's security
at stake, and confidence in the intelligence agency shaken, he
can't allow such a disaster.
The only person qualified to find out what the North Koreans are
doing is Dr. Jon London, but the former operative turned his back
on clandestine assignments two years ago. Now, he shares a quiet
life as a university professor with the love of his life, Dr. Kim
Lake, who knows nothing about his connection to the CIA.
Suddenly, London finds himself enmeshed in a life he thought
he'd left behind. He'll journey all over the world and enter a land
that hardly anyone knows anything about in his efforts to thwart
disaster in Broken Border.
